Given the relative lack of availability of many Trek 930/950/970 bikes, your own area might well command somewhat higher prices. Higher still, if you can show it's got newer brake pads and cabling, newer chain (and possibly cassette/rings) if the gearing's "tired", along with being an unmolested and unaltered example.

The bike is marked 970 and looks to be 1983 made, but the s.n. 008837 gives the frame made 1981 and a 950. Is it possible it was made in '81 and put it together in '83, as a 970? Also, it is a mix of components, Campagnolo, Dura-Ace, Stronglight, Dia-Compe.

When I did my second conversion (Trek 970 mtn bike to a drop bar touring bike) I bought an 18 inch 970(shorter top tube compared to my usual size) to see how it felt when riding it straight-bar. Since the drop bar conversion adds about 75mm of reach (beyond the h-bar reach of the straight bar, using compact drop bars) I figured starting with an ...

I think the Trek 900 series (950, 970 & 990) used the same frame with different components, obviously the 990 was top of the line. IMO, some of the best vintage bikes.

However, when I pushed out the pressfit BB along came with a metal shim that does not seem to part of the BB. I think it's a prebonded shim/sleeve of the BB shell,

The 1983 Trek 970 is now road worthy and will see several events this year, including the Dairyland Dare in Wisconsin and E'roica in Italy. Of all the vintage Trek models, the 1983 970 is the best combination of materials and geometry. The geometry is perfect for me with a 63cm C-to-T seat-tube and a 59 C-to-C toptube.

May 29, 2017 · Other road/race frames end their production years around when the 970 did in 1983, so I use that as my other bookend when coming up with numbers. Yes, I enjoyed this process. :) 1983 Trek 970 52cm - 30 54cm - 75 56cm - 160 58cm - 125 60cm - 95 62cm - 20 64cm - 30 (I have one of just 30!) 535 total 970s produced for 1983 Now, that is not too ...
